Forget about trying to convince these LASIK clients that their man didn't get crushed. People hate to admit they picked wrong. They'll say anything and deny everything.

Erm, dont try and take the high road here without getting your facts straight. If you actually read everybody's posts you'll see noone, not even people that picked Paulie (and there werent many of us) are saying that he won. Far from it, Paulie, or Cotto's EXTREME lack of doing anything between rounds 3 and 9, made it a close and enjoyable fight. Cotto turned it up when he needed to (the last three rounds) and won in the end. Paulie was extremely effective when on the outside of Cotto, whether this was more due to Cotto's inactivity or his workrate, he still was. The thing that made Cotto look dominant is he won THE FIGHT, not all the rounds, and the rounds that he won, he won by a decidedly bigger margin than Maglinaggi won any of his. However, this is the way boxing matches are scored and if you look at what BOTH fighters were doing, Maglinaggi won a lot of the middle rounds.

Paulie was hardly anyone's man before the fight, people here just make informed decisions. Cotto was drained, looked like a freaking skeleton in the press conference and people thought Paulie could give him trouble. Im a Cotto fan but was seriously worried going into this fight and wasnt too convinced at the end. If someone with Paulies speed and any power at all comes along (Mayweather) Cotto could be in serious trouble.

Firstly what happened to the site? Just got on now after trying all day! Good fight,big mouth is a tough little B****** but my boy Cotto was very impressive!Great jab,body work,combos and although Paulie won a few of the middle rounds that was entirely due to Cotto's inactivity,which any Cotto fan will tell you is normal(in every fight,he just sits back a few rounds).The commentary was awful,Foreman and those other2 morons missed some of the action and 1 guy said he had Paulie winning at one point!!
Paulie could not make the next day conference,that's how badly he was busted up but he made me a fan,he really is tough! I had it Cotto by 5,possibly 6.His defence ws very good,Paulie only caught him clean later in the fight.

I thought Cotto was fortunate to come away with the win. I had it level going into the last. Cotto dug deep and pulled out the 12th. By no means did Cotto win convincingly. Paulie had him in all sorts of trouble with his hand speed.

Sorry to hear you missed the fight. LOL

Actually, you'll find that you're in the minority on this one, mate. Paulie ran Cotto very close in that fight.

Really?

Because I really didn't think that was a close fight. I haven't seen anyone else on any other website think so either. And all the reports I've seen on the fight called it the way I saw it. I really would like to hear what rounds Malignaggi won and why he was so sucessful.

Cotto went through a spell in the middle rounds where he was outpunched by Paulie and struggled to get his shots off. Hell, without the knockdown, which was a flash knockdown, even the judges had it closer than half you guys. Is there any point in arguing with the fanboys?

I didn't even make an official prediction on the fight, so I'm not sure what you're talking about there. I did think Cotto would win easily though, and I thought he would have done it far easier than he he did on the night. Cotto is far bigger than Paulie and should really have knocked him out, in my opinion.

You obviously have not seen alot of Miguel Clydey bossman,he always goes through fights where he just I don't know,thinks about what he is doin/going to do.Every fight,a couple of rounds and same here which is what allowed Paulie to take the intiative for a couple of rounds and even then Miguel was blocking most of the shots which would explain why he hardly had a mark in his face after the fight. It's not fanboys,I personally always tell it like it is,I see it more as Ricky struggled in his last fight nad you are attempting to make out Cotto did too.....

[Snakey]

Nope. Paulie gave Cotto issues. Malignaggi was good but Cotto was the better man that night. Much like Mundine Kessler

Oh no you didnt starr, you didnt just say mundine was good vs kessler. Your about to be slammed big time now, you and i both know mundine cant be good at all coz kessler beat him

I've seen plenty of his fights. I also know that non-punchers do not hold Cotto off for sustained periods like Paulie did.

And this has nothing to do with Hatton. You need to get it out of your head that this is some conspiracy. I like Cotto as a fighter. I think he is, along with Hatton and perhaps even more so based on Hatton's recent style, the best body puncher in the sport.

The point I'm making is he should have steam-rollered a much smaller, feather-fisted opponent. Instead, he won the fight but was run close. And I'm not the only one who thinks so. Even the Sky Sport's pundits had it by 1 round and 2 rounds to Cotto.

Oh,so SkySports commentators said it was close therefore it was? The US commentator said he Cotto won by a big margin so it must be true.Steam rollered a feather fisted fighger,oh like Hatton should have done to Collazo and second,if breaking someone's nose,jaw cheekbone etc is not steamrollering someone,you define what is.

Yes, Hatton should have steam-rollered him, but he didn't and everyone admits that. Cotto didn't steam-roller his feather-fisted opponent either, but you won't admit it.

Do you see how your analogy is, therefore, completely irrelevant? Are you being dense intentionally? If not, I don't see how you draw comparisons between the Hatton fight when literally no one even suggested that Hatton beat Collazo by a wide margin.

And as far as the Sky Sports' commentators go, why are you putting words in my mouth? I didn't say that their word is gospel. My point is that they share the opinion of many viewers: that it was a close fight.

Is that clear enough or are you going to misinterpret every other thing I say?

[El Gamo]

I'm sorry,did you not say Sky pundits had it by 1 or 2 rounds therefore it was close? I could just as easily make the same point with the US commentator and the 2 judges I am not misinterpreting anything,your points are soooo vague that they are open to interpretation themselves and yes,there were people who said Hatton won it easily,maybe you were not one of them but there certainly were. The fact is other than a handful of Hatton fans,no one else has said it was close at all.That's all I have to say about the matter. You are making an argument based on nothing.....Cotto won UD,broke Paulie's face literally and Paulie admitted he was outclassed himself and not once did he say or even attempt to say in any way shape or form that it was a close fight....

[Purist]

thats right I forgot, Bernard skipped Super Middleweight to avoid Kessler, he ko hopkins in the knock out real quick in 10 because he big for super middleweight he sould be a super super middleweight

I'm not a fanboy. I think Malignaggi won 4 rounds and they all came in the middle rounds. Still...4 rounds to 8 plus a knockdown isn't a close fight. Malignaggi was good but he proved to be to 1 dimensional to win imo.

[amat]

Hopkins and Mundine are bum fighter

[El Gamo]

Agreed SRKO,I just do not see how it was a close fight at all!!! Paulie showed alot and I mean ALOT of heart..does not make the fight close.Don't you think Miguel was taking most of Paulie's shots on the gloves hence explaining the lack of marks on his face?
